FluidEX® Shell and Tube heat exchangers provide ideal cooling solutions for a wide variety of applica-tions. FluidEX® Shell & Tube heat exchangers are manufactured using floating tube stacks that prevent prema-ture failure as a result of thermal expansion fatigue and allow for easy cleaning. For over 30 years our highly efficient heat exchangers have been giving superb service throughout Aus-tralia and beyond. FluidEX robust and lightweight auto transmission oil coolers, incorporating high density tube stacks spe-cially designed by Fluid Dynamics, are used in the incredibly reliable and rugged Bushmaster armoured vehicles. FluidEX coolers can also be found on engines, gen sets, compressors, transmissions and pumps in mines, factories and ships throughout Australia and abroad including the Australian Navy’s Armidale Class Patrol Boats and Anzac Class Frigates.

Fai l Safe ™

The new Fail Safe™ Shell & Tube heat exchanger removes the risk of leaking by means of a double tube design with the space between the two tubes filled with a special sealing liquid. This liquid ena-bles optimum heat transfer. A pre-charged diaphragm accumulator compensates the thermal change in the volume of the sealing liquid and keeps the liquid pressure almost constant. A leak in any of the tubes is detected immediately the pressure alters and activates an alarm. The sealing liquid is frost-resistant up to -30°C and, at the same time, safe with food-stuffs. Other liq-uids are available on request.

Fluid Dynamics understands the dangers of heat exchanger failure causing contamination of one fluid with another. If you are concerned about cross contamination causing damage to your equipment or allowing oil to get into water causing environmental damage and embarrassment then you will find your solution here. Fluid Dynamics now brings to you the latest in heat exchanger technology - the new Fail Safe™ Shell & Tube heat exchangers that can handle heat loads up to 1,000 kW using double tubes, a special sealing fluid and a sensor based on a pre-charged diaphragm accumulator.

Standard Units Tube in tube technology with sealing liquid

Water side: optimized durability

Electronic security

On-tank cooler

Heat dissipation up to 800 kW

Flow rates up to 1800 l/min

Hybrid

The Hybrid series is a logical further development of a tube-bank heat exchanger for a wide range of industrial applications. This unit combines the advantages of both shell & tube and plate. It provides the robustness and ease of cleaning of a shell & tube cooler and the compact size and effectiveness of a plate cooler. This range is particularly effective due to the additional cooling area of the fins, and offers a heat exchange performance of up to1000 kW. This outstanding performance is produced by aluminium fins which are pushed over the bank of tubes with metal-to-metal contact. The Hybrid range of heat exchangers has a cooling surface from 0.43 m2 to 56 m2

Features:

Aluminium fins ensure larger levels of heat exchange Heat dissipation up to 1000 kW Oil flow rates of up to 1500 l/min Removable end caps for easy cleaning of the tubes Max. pressure: oil 35 bar / water10 bar Option Sea water version Certifications for marine applications Compressed-air application Water-Water application Stainless steel version or chemically Nickel plated Flanges allow the heat exchanger to be turned through 90° Optionally available with internal bypass check valve (patented)

One of the key features of Fluid Dynamics is its ability to design, re-engineer, manufac-ture, test and repair Shell & Tube heat ex-changers of all sizes and applications. Manufactured to the highest standards us-ing the best quality materials. Whether from drawings or from re-engineering an existing unit, we can deliver a beautifully constructed tubestack that will fit perfectly into an existing shell or we can manufacture an entire shell & tube heat ex-changer. Many of our faithful customers are some of the largest power stations in Australia. They not only require us to manufacture replace-ment heat exchangers on time to meet their demanding timeframes, but each unit has to be made to exacting standards from the best materials to ensure trouble free cooling over extended periods. And Fluid Dynamics delivers time and again.

Ful ly Welded

Our Fully Welded Plate Heat Exchangers combine a significant range of technological advantages into one compact unit.

The all-welded design removes the need for any gas-kets between plates allowing them to operate with a wide range of aggressive fluids at high temperatures and pressures.

The corrugated plate patterns generate high turbu-lence & provide heat transfer coefficients 3 to 5 times greater than standard shell & tube heat exchangers. Fouling is reduced & the use of corrosion-resistant exotic metals becomes financially viable.

Perfect for handling aggressive, high-temperature fluids of all kinds in corrosive operating environ-ments.

These heat exchangers are compact and can be in-stalled virtually anywhere in a wide range of heat ex-changer applications including as a condenser on re-actors or as a condenser or reboiler for distillation and stripping columns.

Dry Air Coolers

Dry air cooling is a highly effective alternative to evaporative cooling.

For efficient cooling of liquids or condensate gases in closed circuits through intelligent heat transfer with high-density finned coil to air at ambient dry bulb temperature.

Reduces water usage

Eliminates water treatment

Eliminates plumes

Reduces maintenance

Eliminates Legionella risks

Ideal for compact or restricted areas.

Adiabatic Coolers

Adiabatic describes a thermodynamic process that happens without loss or gain of heat. Adiabatic coolers

are either air-cooled or are condensers with adiabatic pre-coolers. Before the fan draws the ambient air

through the finned coil the air is pre-cooled adiabatically as it passes over the coil face evaporating the wa-

ter in the air boosting its cooling capacity.

Low process temperatures Increases capacity up to 40% compared to dry cooling Reduces energy consumption Safe operation No water recirculation No stagnant water No aerosol generation No water carry-over Saves more than 80% on water usage compared to cooling towers.

Air Cooled Condensers & Evapo-rators Air-cooled and evaporative cooled chillers are intended for outdoor installation and operation.

Air-cooled units are directly cooled by ambi-ent air being mechanically circulated directly through the machine's condenser coil to ex-pel heat to the atmosphere.

Evaporative cooled machines are simi-lar, except they implement a mist of water over the condenser coil to aid in condenser cooling, making the machine more efficient than a traditional air-cooled machine.

No remote cooling tower is normally required with either of these types of packaged air-cooled or evaporative cooled chillers.

Fluid Dynamics can design and manu-facture Condensers and Evaporators using a range of materials including finned tube or coils.
